Jon Rahm, the defending Masters champion, is reportedly set to jump from the PGA Tour to LIV Golf in one of the latest stunning defections.
Jon Rahm, the Spanish golf superstar who won the Masters and the U.S. Open, is reportedly set to jump from the PGA Tour to LIV Golf in one of the surprising moves of 2023.
Rahm’s deal with the Saudi-backed golf series is expected to be extremely lucrative, on par with the likes of Brooks Koepka and Phil Mickelson. ESPN reported Thursday that Rahm’s deal is expected to be valued at around $300 million over three years.
The former world No. 1 had previously been critical of those who jumped from the PGA Tour to LIV. Rahm said in June 2022 that he didn’t think playing 54 holes was a golf tournament and was more concerned about the history of the PGA Tour and its legacy.
